The Love Island presenter had been bailed after an initial court hearing and would have been due to appear for the start of her trial on 4 March. She learned of the CPS’s decision to pursue the charges the day before her death.

Opening up about her battles with mental health, she said: “I've been having some sort of emotional breakdown for a very long time.”

Burton released an emotional statement following Flack’s death.

He wrote: “My heart is broken we had something so special. I am so lost for words I am in so much pain I miss you so much I know you felt safe with me you always said I don’t think about anything else when I am with you and I was not allowed to be there this time.”
